The Asic uses through silicon via (TSV) technology to allow a low-noise analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) to be placed very close to the photodiode detector. The chip has been designed for Siemens to be used in its Stellar CT photo-detector module ...

IT IS now possible to measure physical changes in silicon while it is being processed into microelectronic devices, which could help improve fabrication techniques for even smaller circuits. Semiconductor fabs are always looking to push the physical ...

The holy grail for treating “liquid tumors,” or cancers comprised of circulating blood cells, is to fish them out with some sort of microfluidic sieve. Microfluidic devices have achieved broad biomedical application in recent times as convenient ...

“Everything, when miniaturized to the sub-100-nanometer scale, has new properties, regardless of what it is,” says Chad Mirkin, professor of chemistry (and materials science, engineering, medicine, biomedical engineering and chemical and biological ...

The strain-tuning the team demonstrated has implications in the nanoscale fabrication of controlled, self-assembled nanostructures of multiple elements, with properties suitable for a range of electrical and electronic applications, including ...

We can look through glass, but what glass itself looks like on the inside has so far remained a mystery - at least as far as the precise position of the atoms is concerned. Scientists at the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin are now the first to have imaged the network of silicon and oxygen atoms - the main components of glass - in a silica film.

One of the most promising innovations of nanotechnology has been the ability to perform rapid nanofabrication using nanoscale tips. The fabrication speed can be dramatically increased by using heat. High speed and high temperature have been known to ...

Drawing heavily upon nature for inspiration, a team of researchers has created a new artificial lens that is nearly identical to the natural lens of the human eye. This innovative lens, which is made up of thousands of nanoscale polymer layers, may one ...

A University of Texas at Arlington physics professor has helped create a hybrid nanomaterial that can be used to convert light and thermal energy into electrical current, surpassing earlier methods that used either light or thermal energy, but not both ...

Bulletproofing for soldiers and law enforcement officers has lightened up considerably in recent years, but it promises get insanely thin with new nanotechnology coming out of MIT and Rice University. A team of mechanical engineering and materials ...

However, all the self-healing polymers demonstrated to date had had very low bulk electrical conductivities and would have been little use in electrical sensors. Writing in Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers detail how they increased the ...
